Like the invention disclosed in the application' mentioned,-the present invention has for 0 an object the provision of a holder with which various kinds of liquid cosmetics may be used, ,such as lip and other rouge, liquid powder, liquid eye-lash cream, perfume, shav- 1ng cream, tooth paste and various other creams and cosmetics, so that the latter may be kept in proper and convenient condition for use.

In addition, the present invention aims to improve and simplify the construction of the invention disclosed in the mentioned application in such-a way as to prevent the liquid contents of the container from seeping out and discoloring thefingers or apparel of the user, as well as to provide a holder whereby tlie gosmetic may beeasily and accurately apie I With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following .novel features and details of construction,

I to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanyin drawings and pointed out in the appende claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional view of the holder with parts in elevation.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cap removed. L

Figure 3 is a sectional view of the head or discharge end of the container. Figure 4 is an elevation of the compressible container per se. Figure 5 is a perspective view of the push button spring.

Figure 6 is an inner plan view of the head cover.

Fi re 7 is a lo 'tudinal sectional view showmg a modified orm of container.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a holder which is open at one end and provided with an externally threaded neck 11. The opposite end of the holder is provided with a tapered opening 12 which is adapted to receive a tapered button 13.

The button. 13 is adapted to engage the inner end of a rubber or other compressible container 14 and for this purpose, the inner face of the button is preferabl round. The button is movably held in p ace by means of a spring 15. One end 16 of this spring is engaged in a diametrically disposed opening 17 provided in the button 13, while the other end of the spring is engaged within a groove 18 provided in the wall of the tapered opening 12. i

The container 14 is provided near its outer end with an annular shoulder 19 which engages over the edge of the neck 11 of the holder. This end of the container is also provided with an opening 20 which receives the restricted neck 21 of a head 22.

Thishead is provided with a central opening or passage 23 and with slits 24 which extend inward from the outer pointed end of the head, and these slits have their outer edges flared as shown at 25.

The containerisadapted to contain a liqg uid cosmetic, such'as lip rouge, and pressure upon the button 13 will compress the walls of the containerl and force a portion of its contents outward through the passage 23 and the slits 24. As the outer or discharge end 3 of the head 22 is pointed, the majority of the discharged liquid will be at this pointed end, so that 'a .relatively broad pencil-like stripe or mark may be made which is especially adapted for the application of rouge 9e to the lips.

The container is designed to be used for creams or semi-liquid pastes of various consistencies, and these pastes or creams are forced outward through the openings 24.- and as through a fabric or other porous cover 26 which is shaped to fit the discharge end or head 22. This cover 26 is clamped upon a shoulder 27 provided upon an annular flange 28 which extends circumierentially of the head. For this purpose there is provided a flanged ring 29 which removably engages the neck 11 and serves both to clamp the cover upon the head and to secure the head and container within the holder.

A cap 30 is removably mounted upon the discharge end of the holder.

If desired, the container and head may be formed of a single rubber unit as shown at 31 in Figure 7 of the drawings. This unit has its outer pointed end 32 provided with holder, a pointed discharge end for the container, said end extending through the holder, meansto removably secure the container within the holder, and a movably mounted finger-piece extending into the holder in contact with the container to compress the latter and eject its contents through the discharge end.

2. In a toilet accessory, a holder open at one end, a compressible container within the holder, a pointed discharge end for the container, said end extending through the holder, a porous cover for the discharge end of the container, combined means to retain the cover in position and secure the container within the holder, and a movably mounted finger-piece extending into the holder in contact with the container to compress the latter and eject its contents through the discharge end.
